Plans

• Complete a tutorial on the localization of Source mods based on the process followed during the work on the Minerva: Metastasis (http://www.hylobatidae.org/minerva/curtain.shtml) mod. Among other things, the tutorial will:

• List the resources which control and store the game UI strings, HUD strings, HEV communication strings, closecaption strings, and game sounds.
• Describe how these resources can be modified.
• Provide a sample localization workflow.
• Provide workarounds in situations where localized sounds are not an option.
• Provide info on limited UI layout modifications to resolve string clipping and overlap.
• Reminder: integrate the tutorial with Non-code mod settings

• Perform a full linguistic and cosmetic QA on the following Source HL2 files:

• \resource folder

• gameui_french.txt (found moderate to severe inconsistencies and mistranslations)
• hl2_french.txt
• valve_french.txt
• relevant .res files (mostly clipped strings)
• closecaption_french.txt

• \scripts folder

• credits.txt
• titles.txt

• Commentary System files

• Figure out how to:

• set the language of a game independently from the Steam language, as it would allow to run localized mods in unsupported languages, such as Polish, without changing Steam. (check if the EULA, etc., or another document does not prohibit running different languages)
• localize Steam into a new language (Polish)
